THE KINLOCH SALE

GREAT PRICES FOR MARES (By Telegraph.) (Special to /'The Evening Post.") CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The dispersal sale of the Kinloch stud, which was established and run with great success for many years by the late Mr. J. F. Buchanan, was held on the'property at Little Eiver yesterday afternoon. The sale was conducted by Pyne, Gould, Guinness, Ltd., in conjunction with Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd. Messrs. J. G. Kobertson and D. Gould were the auctioneers. There was a large attendance of Canterbury breeders and racing men, together with a number of visitors from the North Island and Otago, while several Australian commissioners were also present. The mares with foals were sold first. Torquato and Mazabuka, two mares which have produced winners, were sold at moderate prices. They were followed by the imported mare Sweet Charity, a young mare, dam of Knightlike, a winner at hia first start. She was accompanied by a filly foal by Martian, and was considered safely in foal to Limond. Bidding started at 300 guineas and continued quickly to 800 guineas, at which she was secured by Mr. H. M. Reeves, of Hororata. She appeared to be a great bargain. RECORD PRICES FOR BROOD MARES Cymene, with colfc foal by Limond and in foal to the same horse, was started at 600 guineas, and she travelled in rapid stages to 2000 guineas, when Mr. H. M. Reeves stopped the opposition with a bid of 2250 guineas. There was warm applause when the hammer fell, the price being a record for a brood mare in the Dominion. Cymene is by the Cyllene horse Cylgad, from Hippocrene by Spearmint, son of Carbine, from Glass Jug, by Isinglass from Amphora, a sister to Sundridge. , The next to enter the ring was fctrona, another young English mare with colt foal by Martian and in foal to Diacquenod. Bidding for her was sharp and short. She was started at 1000 guineas, and nv-e advances of 250 guineas each brought the price to 2250 guineas, at which she was knocked down to Mr. K. Austin, of Clnsholm and Co., Sydney, amidst applause. There was not much excitement about the other mares with foals. When the dry mares were offered Messrs. Austin and Reeves were'again in evidence, the former civinc 375 guineas for the imported Polymnia, dam of The Cypher, The Polyninian, Accamar, and Battlement, in foal to Limond; while Mr. Reeves paid 325 guineas for the imported Spearmint mare Pincta, dam of Rapine, in foal to Paladin. IMPORTED STALLIONS NOT WANTED. There was very little competition for the two English-bred stallions. Mr. A. h. Hill secured Paladin, by PdymeliM, for 130 guineas, and he will join the Speaiminfhorse Last Dart at his new owners stud in the Taieri district. Mr. J. Donald paid only 325 guineas for D>«n°ft by Diadumenos, son of Oyby, and. he will goto the Westmere stud, Wangamu. where Mr Donald already has Chiet Ryler and Tonbridge. Mr. Donald has also purliU Rtud which also boasts a hue toucc t\on of man*. The lack of competition for the two stallions was the disappointment of the Kinloch sale. Paladin has "eft some smart gallopers five stud career, while Diacquenod, who is Jive years younger, will have nothing old enough to race for some t me, the oldest of his progency being foals. MR. A. B. WILLIAMS AS BREEDER. The three mares purchased by Mr 11. M Reeves were secured on behalf ot JUr. A B Williams, the well-known North Mand owner.
